Springfield M-1D

I've liked M-1s for a long time and, about a year ago, acquired a nice Springfield that was manufactured right at the end of the government contract. It's original and I thoroughly enjoy firing it. Since then, I've been studying Mr. Garand's war-winning rifle and the sniper models really intrigued me. A couple of weeks ago, I found one that I considered a "grail weapon." A phone call later, a deal was made and I received it yesterday:

This is the original box that was shipped to the former caretaker by DCM back in the late 1990s. He put it in two, well-padded boxes and sent it to me.

The original paperwork from DCM

All accessories are still in the original packaging

Pretty nice piece, huh? I won't assemble it . . . . that'll be up to the next caretaker.

Wow

Holy crap that's awesome to find one with everything, untouched!

Collectors item for sure!

On another note: Damn, they really did include a lot when you bought one. Now it's like "How much can we not include".

That is totally awsome!

Mike is that the scope in the box beneath the padded bag or is it in the padded bag? The 90's was a good time to get these before Bill Clinton had most of them cut up. Great looking acquisition. Buying a rifle or handgun that comes with the DCM box and paperwork is rare these days. I know you'll take good care of it. Thanks for sharing.

The scope is in this bag:

The small box contains the scope cover. The little silver-colored package is the sling.
